Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Why aren't people sharing my Facebook posts?

    Tap the audience option underneath your name (for example, Share with Your Friends).
    Then click on the circle to the right to select the audience you want to see the content (for example, Friends, Public, or Just Me).

  • How do I activate a share button in a private Facebook group?
